Edge Mobile now supports web apps?

Please correct me if this has previously been reported on and I just missed it entirely or if it’s been a thing for a while now 🙂

But I just found out that Edge for Android supports web apps. When I pin certain sites that support the technology to my home screen, they all act just like native apps (sites like cnet.com, aspiration.com, bloom.io) with no address bar and their own non-edge designation in the running apps list.

Anyway, again apologies if this was well know. I just found out and it’s been wonderful so far!
